VOLUNTEER INFO Volunteers are the lifeblood of any organization, and the AWPGA is no different. Your National Specialty is being brought to you by a team of volunteers, and we'll all welcome the offer of additional help during the week of the show. Want to be loved, needed, and deeply appreciated during the show week? Come join us volunteers!

Volunteers are needed for everything from manning the Hospitality area to helping to sell logowear to straightening the tunnel between agility trial runs. Even simple jobs such as replacing the poop bags around the exercise area or carrying trophies to the conformation ring need doing, and sometimes all that's needed is a few minutes of your time at just the right time.Not only will you earn the undying love and admiration of the committees (and maybe some snacks), but you'll acquire contacts for the next time your club hosts the Specialty!Every host club needs all the help it can get.A lot of Specialty jobs don't require any special knowledge or skill, just a quick bit​of instruction just before the event starts. Whom to Contact (We'll Be Your New Best Friends)Here's a quick list of some Specialty jobs that always need help, plus whom to contact if you can volunteer some time. Note: This list is by no means complete. You can always just show up at an event and volunteer to help, or contact a Committee member before the show and say, "I want in."
